"We estimate short, medium, and long-run individual labor market effects
of training programs for unemployed by following program participation on
a monthly basis over a ten-year period. Since analyzing the effectiveness
of training over such a long period is impossible with experimental data,
we use an administrative database compiled for evaluating German training
programs. Based on matching estimation adapted to the various issues
that arise in this particular context, we find a clear positive relation
between the effectiveness of the programs and the unemployment rate
over time." [authors abstract]
